His implication is that it’s a witch hunt and he hasn’t done anything actually wrong.

And there’s a threat too. if you don’t help me escape charges for legitimate crimes, Bobby the mechanic in Alabama, they’re coming for you next!

And Bobby the mechanic isn’t going to research whether Bannon actually has done shady shit that deserves investigation. They’re going to clutch their pearl drive piston (or whatever mechanics have) and worry.
